The USGA '3 Green Section director, John Monteith, Jr., was the next speaker. His paper was on the "Development of New Types of Grasses," and had to do with the grading by points of the various strains under experimental growth in the Green Section experimental plats.

The session ended with two moving pic-ture features. William H. Johnson of Griffith Park Municipal GCse,Los Angeles, showed 600 feet of natural color film on the building and maintenance of his golf course. The movie was produced mainly for the edification and education of Los Angeles taxpayers, to show them what a wonderful civic property they own, but the greensmen at the convention found plenty to interest them as the reels unwound.

Following the Los Angeles movie, John S. McCoy, greenkeeper at Ohio State University Golf Cse, Columbus, Ohio, projected movies of the construction of the OSU golf course. A striking difference in the amount of water needed in Califor-

nia as compared to Ohio and the difference in the investment for watering equipment was apparent.

The exhibition ball was a sellout during the convention and reports from manufac-turers and dealers indicate that consider-able business was transacted with the clubs represented at the meeting.

Har-vester Co- in a recent broadcast said that in I860, when mechanization of agricul-tural work began, 80% of the nation's 23 million population were farm residents whose work was required to feed the coun-try.

Evinrude Motors, Milwaukee, builders of outboard motors and power mowers, an-nounce an additional model—the Lawn-Boy model "S." Priced at $89.50, it is designed specially for mowing of lawns where the landscaping permits long, straightaway cutting, and where there is little head-on or angle trimming such as with trees, gardens and pools.

The new model has easy, one-hand con-trol, patterned after the first Lawn-Boy, now the deluxe model "D . " Model *'S" has the same overall dimensions as model "D," and also cuts an IS in. swath. In the new model, releasing the handle grip engages wheels antl cutting reel and the mower moves. Pulling the grip stops the mower. A conveniently placed auxiliary handle aids greatly in handling ease.

Lawn-Boy deluxe model, priced at $110, is designed for greater trimming efficiency as well as for general mowing. It employs no roller, and because of free wheeling, makes turns in its own width, with or without power. Mowing speed on both models is adjustable to any pace, and cut-ting heights may be set to fit varying

Appreciation of Julian Curtiss' many contributions to sport and his record of service with A. G.

Spalding employees who had served forty years or more as-sembled to pay tribute to and to recount

fond memories with "Uncle Jul ian." The meeting came just 62 years after Julian W. Curtiss, salesman, joined the then in-fant sporting goods concern.

"Uncle Jul ian" is shown, right, receiving the beautiful engrossment that came as an expression of the affection and esteem held by employees of the company for Mr. Cur-tiss, each contributing to a fund gathered

by Harold G. Voorhis, chairman, to cover the cost of the tribute.

A greens spiker of unusual design is offered by Richland Greens Equipment Co., Mansfield, 0. Outstanding feature is the "rocking," cultivating movement of its spikes, Spikers are riveted on loosely hung plates, three rows to a plate, permitting the spikes to enter and leave the ground at a slight angle, thereby creating a stir-ring motion in the ground beneath the turf but leaving only a round untom hole. This feature, which the makers claim can-not be obtained with the ordinary arrange-ment of spikes on a solid circular disc, tends to slightly lift the sod, giving the greatest amount of cultivation.

A special turf guard, quickly attached to the Richland spiker eliminates the danger of tearing or pulling the turf in the case of loosely rooted grass. The ma-chine operates in both directions without

turning, is fast and can be quickly and easily transported by detachable trans-port wheels. The machine itself weighs 300 lbs. and extra weights can be added if further penetration is required. It is attractively finished in aluminum, red and blue implement lacquer. Full particulars of this spiker may be had from the Rich-land Greens Equipment Co., Farmers Bank Bldg., Mansfield, 0.

Although mowing a lawn is plenty dif-ferent from keeping a powerful airplane roaring through space, Whirlwind power mowers combine the principles of propel-ler-action and the uptitted rear part of wing and tail that gives a plane "lift.''

The Whirlwind cutter knife is propeller-like in action, revolving horizontally on an axis at a speed of 1,8011 to 2,400 r.p.m. On the back of each of these 3Vi in, cutter knives is the uptilted Aileron lifting blade. As the cutters revolve at great speed the "tails" create a suction that gives the surrounding air a "lift" or "pull," pulling

Bryant S. Procter, engineer who is a veteran golfer, has invented a recording indoor practice net that registers, approxi-mately, length of drives and indicates a hook, slice or straight ball. The recording mechanism is entirely mechanical and re-quires no electrical equipment. Cost of the device is far under the customary price of recording practice nets.

Procter, whose home address is 609 E. 89th St., Chicago, 111., will furnish com-plete details to interested parties.

"The Keystone of Golf," Spalding's new 16 mm. instruction talkie, now is being loaned by Spalding branches to pros, clubs, schools and other organizations at no rental cost. Reservations for the film must be made well in advance due to heavy demand. The picture, in G o l f r o M ' s opinion, is easily one of the very best in golf instruction. It concerns itself with the fundamentals and presents Jones, Cooper, Thomson, Smith and Little in demonstrations and explanations.

This picture doesn't try to do too much. It runs approximately 40 minutes. The players devote themselves to handling the basic features of good golf in an under-standable manner. The average golfer can "get" what's in this film and be disposed to consult his pro for further details.

One feature of tbe film's distribution plan is to give it lots of showings at schools as an athletic educational move and for pro publicity.
